Extrusion Methods

The extrusion methods we offer range from single and co-extrusion, which are used for volume extrusion solutions on a regular basis, to those which are used for a much higher specification of product and involve a more complex extrusion process such as cross head extrusion.

Single hardness extrusions

Single hardness profiles are manufactured from a single material and can be flexible, rigid or rubber, which includes sponge based products.

Cross head extrusion

Cross head extrusion is similar to co-extrusion but rather than combining different types of plastic or rubbers, it is possible to embed different components such as aluminium and glass fibre cord into the profile.

Co-extrusion

Co-extrusion combines two different materials or colours into one single profile. Special twin head extruders and purpose made dies are used for this process.

Pile extrusion

Extruded pile incorporates an extruded polypropylene base with either a polypropylene siliconised brush or a monofilament brush.

Triplex extrusion

Triplex extrusion involves the extrusion of three different materials into one single profile. This involves highly complex machines and dies.
